Thanks @comptext.bsky.social for a great conference in #Vienna! I presented (1) a new method -- "MQ-Class" -- for LLM-classifying the full spectrum of media ideology and (2) my project mapping the 2D structure of global media ideology. Great people, panels, and most importantly food!

Absolutely excited to host a roundtable on "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" featuring @krangelie.bsky.social and @indiiigo.bsky.social at #COMPTEXT2025 🙌
We'll explore how bias and marginalisation shape methods and models - and thus scientific quality!

I absolutely loved @holnburger.bsky.social‘s presentation of his tool crowdbucket.io!
What a well-designed service to have LLM topic modeling results validated by humans in a convenient and fun way…like swiping on Tinder.
Will definitely use it for my historical gossip!

Forgot to mention: there are now also other #rstats packages that connect to Ollama like ellmar, tidyllm, ollamar. I still think ours works best for annotation and other tasks, but you might like the syntax or approach of something else more...
